I was a daughterless mother. I had nowhere to put the things a mother places on her daughter. The nail polish I used to paint our toenails hardened. Our favorite videos gathered dust.

Marge Piercy

A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. A strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs.

Strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.

Margaret Sanger

Woman must not accept; she must challenge.
